Any congressperson that writes a book - from Dick Armey to Hillary Clinton - does a book signing ceremony at Trover Books on Capitol Hill. The store has a great selection of political paraphenalia as well as plenty of books on a wide range of topics. Plus, the staff at the bookstore is knowledgeable and courteous.

This has been my number one stop for tobacco products since I movied to DC six years ago. They probably have the most knowledgeable staff of any area tobacco dealer. And to my knowledge, they have the largest walk-in humidor of any shop as well. Pretty much they stock everything but the cubans. (And who knows, maybe if you say the secret word??) The prices are very reasonable, so much so that I've been able to afford their wares even on my non-proft salary. Keep in mind this review refers to cigars and pipe tobacco, since I've never purchased cigarettes from them.

I am Indian so I can say with some authority that Indique is tone of he best Indian restaurant in DC! The best thing about Indique is that they actually give you rice and daal not like other rip off indian restaurants that make you pay for everything separately. The food is very authentic and the menu has a nice mix of different types of north indian food.

When I first moved to Dupont Circle 8 years ago, there were 3 music shops within one block in Dupont Circle. Now two of the three have been replaced by retail clothing stores, but fortunately one still stands. And probably for good reason: it was always a notch above the others in terms of quality and variety. The store has music from around the world and tends to cater toward that random record that you wouldn't necessarily be able to find at Best Buy, or wherever it is that people shop for music nowadays.

Urban Outfitters is a new thing to me. In FL, if you wanted something from UO, you had to order from the catalogue or the website, here in DC, I have two to choose from where I can go in and raid all the sale stuff! When they do have sales, they go crazy! last time I got 3 pairs of pants for 2.50$ each; the time before that, I paid less than 25$ and left with 4 bags full of books and household stuff.

It took me a minute to realize that the name of this restaurant was not some word in a foreign language, but rather, a cutesy way of spelling out "Me and You." Whatever the case, I LOVE this place. It's got an Egyptian, North African, Middle Eastern, dark and smoky feel to it, with plush, deeply colored fabrics and dark wood. I'm not even sure I can pinpoint what part of the world this restaurant is supposed to represent, because it seems like a conglomeration. The owners describe it as "fusion, eclectic." This is the kind of place that would be perfect with a date, or with a group of friends. When I have people visiting from out of town, this is one of the places I bring them. The menu has something for everyone, and it's all done well. You'll pay for it, but it's well worth it. Even the bathrooms are creatively decorated. This place has become pretty popular in the two years or so that it's been here, so you'll want to reserve a few days ahead of time -- definitely not the same day.

Lush has a bevy of handmade bath products that are the perfect end to a long day. They have a wide variety of great smelling soaps, as well as all natural lotions and hair products. My personal faves are the bubble bars (bubble bath in bar form), the massage bars (massage oil in bar form), and, best of all, the bath bombs, which explode in the tub and turn the water fragrant and inviting. There are so many different kinds, and they are almost all fantastic.

DC is the first metro area where I've lived where the neighborhood hardware store is a rarity. Everyone seems to prefer the mega chains like Lowe's and Home Depot. But there is an advantage to a place like Logan Hardware -- you don't have to search forever for what you need, the help actually knows what they're talking about and the prices are better. The owners must just be smart people, because the store isn't one of those family-owned businesses that have been around forever. They actually came in with the wave of gentrification that overtook this neighborhood. But they obviously know their market and its needs. And even though the store looks small from the outside, don't be fooled. It's got three levels full of everything you might need.
